THE LEGISLATURE will re assemble on
Wednesday next. In order that it may
prepare the State Tor the adoption of the
liberal terms her creditors will propose for
the settlement of the State debt, it should al
once proceed to the passage of two bills, one
imposing stamp tax on all commercial
paper over the value of twenty-five dollars,
and the other providing for higher license
tax on the sale Of liqnor. Such bills would
supply all the deficit required to enable the
State to settle her debt satisfactorily and
houorably, and would 90 so without any
extra cost for collection, and with no trouble
or inconvenience 10 those by whom it would
be paid and besides, The latter one would
do more as proved by the experience Of
other States, to promote the cause of tenn
perauce than ali the local option and pro
bibition laws ever enacted. II the Legisla
ture shall pass the bills referred TO and then
settle the debt, it will not only offset all its
past deinquencies, but merit and receive
the praise and thanks of redeemed State
and grateful people.

Tspeeial Correspondence Of the Alexa. GAZETTE. ]
WASHINGTON. D. c., April %, 1887
In conversation with q friend q day or
two ago public printer Benedict said he had
removed seven hundred republicans from
the government printing office in order TO
give their PLACES to democrats. but had been
forced to renstate three hundred and fifty
by the entreaties and demands of demo
cratic congressman. The fact that he
had made this statement being men
toned in the presence of democratic
congressman from Virginia. that gentleman
remarked be had no doubt of its truth, as
he, himself, had used his influence to have
two of the removed republicans referred to
reinstated, aud had succeeded. 1t is also
said at the pension office that active and
offensive republican partiaans are retained

A RESOLUTION has been introduced in the
Provincial Assembly of Nova Scotia provid-
ing for the annexation of that province to
the United States Nova Scotia herring,
mackerel and plaster are very good things;
but as this country has as mnch territory
subject to it now rs it can well take care of,
its people would greatly prefer TO get those
articles cheap by reciprocity treaty, than
by the probably more troublesome means
referred TO.

POLITICAL AFFAIRS in the second con-
gressional district are progressing by no
means satisfactorily to the Mahoneitcs. In
deed the Generals forces there are in such
an undisciplined and insu5ordinate condi-
tion that it has been necessary for the Gen.
eral himself to proceed there and take with
him his most efficient jackmen, ex-coDgress'
man Wise and congressman Bowden, to en-
force that strict obedience to his orders so
essentially necessary to the success of his
plans. Things are not working well for the
General now, and if the democratic MAORI
ty in the Legislature will only act in &C.
cordance with the dictates of common sense
he will soon cease TO be more than an un-
pleasant memory.

Hon. John s. Barbour.

There is one result which will follow the
late election as sure as fate. That is the
elevation Of Hon.. John 8. Barbour to the
seat in The United States Senate non occu

the womb Of the future can b. more certain.
From all over the State one voice to that
end will 60 Up. His election will be de
manded with such unanimity and such earn
estness That we dare say no one will rise up
10 oppose him. Thrice has no led the de-
mocracy Of Virginia to victory. Thrice has
he beaten the maligo boss thrice has be
delivered Virginia from his blighting grasp
and now he bag broken his power forever
Tho people Of Virginia feel and know this
and their gratitude knows no bounds. And
ere way 10 which they propose to manifest
it is to confer the Senatorial toga upon him
Their representatives. who will go to Rich
mond will understand this thoroughly, and
we dare say the election will be by accla
nation. Then Virginians may hold up their
heads when they enter the Senate galleries

circulated by his advcrsaries that tho democratic
members Of the newly.chosen Legislature were

will, in all probability, elect him to the United

hests. 1t will be DONE if at all, we bad occa

The result of the election in Vire inia Tuesday
